Community Designed AH Hunting Knife

[UNTAMED KNIVES]

I’d buy one. I do prefer the leather over kydex for the sheath.

Thanks for that. I think I will definitely have an option for a leather sheath, but it would be an add on as it were, just purely because of the extra time it takes me to do the leather work

I'd go something along the lines of # 5 with the respective logos .....I'm in.

 

[Fish2table]

I understand the extra time/ cost. No problem.

I would like a square spine for use with ferro rod…

+1!

I vote 4" blade--I want to cut meat with it, not just skin. And have you ever tried to cut thick rope with a short blade...not good.

 

[NoStepOnSnek]

I’d say 3.5” drop point blade (wouldn’t be mad at No.3 blade shape), handle shape from No.2, material of 1 or 2, and ebony bolster. AH logo on blade

Very nice. Two awesome materials I love working with. Recently did a buff horn folder with Damascus and man does buff horn take an awesome shine!

Wear a nose plug under your respirator…

Working with bone and horn stinks horribly…

I love the finished product… but every time I work with bone or horn my shop stinks for a week… and that with me running the shop air filter for hours every day…

Keep it small, 3"-3.5" blade
Bone handle with ebony or Buff horn bolster and mosaic pins
I like this design most with the drop blade.

My preference is #3, 4" Carbon blade with full tang from .15" stock.

A

 

[Ray B]

None of the new drawings have the thumb notch on the top of the blade as in the original photos- #3

 

[Firebird]

Option A and a native wood handle gets my vote. Have enjoyed watching you on the TV hunting channel this season. Keep up the good work and thanks for all you’ve done

A

Thanks

Hmm, I had forgotten about that to be honest. If there's enough feedback requesting it, I can do another drawing with that as an option.

If you had to pick one of the 4?

Thanks very much

option A with a little Jimping for the thumb
And I agree a combination of native wood and buffalo Horn or warthog
And yes the show is very entertaining

 

[Throwback]

Option C but Id buy any of them really. Just please have the AH logo somewhere and put me down for a leather sheath. Wood or animal bone/horn handle preferred over synthetic. Cheers

 

[Russ16]

A then C.

 

[Andrew62]

A

 

[BeeMaa]

C with full tang and jimping for the thumb as @pilar suggested.

I like A and D. I prefer a guard cuz things get slippery - a lanyard hole - I can go either way.
